We take a break from our busy day to bring you some hilarious financial trivia. By the way, even in those trying times, innovative business people never collapsed! Below are pictures of the highest monetary denominations which I have come across. If anyone know other interesting notes I have left out, please let me know.

Greece: 100,000,000,000 (100 Billion) Drachmai, in 1944
Germany: 100,000,000,000,000 (100 Billion) Mark, in 1923
Serbian Republic: 50,000,000,000 (50 Billion) Dinara, in 1993
Turkey: 20,000,000 (20 Million) Lira in 2000

Yugoslavia: 10,000,000,000 (10 Billion) Dinara, in 1993
Yugoslavia: A 500,000,000,000 (500 billion) Yugoslav dinar banknote circa 1993.
I am sure this is the largest denomination ever printed!

This is currently the biggest note in circulation right now. It is equivalent to about US$1. Zimbabwe is currently experiencing hyper-inflation.
